Nashville Wedding Venues

Imagine a world where every bride could have the Nashville wedding of her dreams. A world where there’s always enough money and everyone involved in the wedding didn’t chip in with unsolicited advice and just did what they were told. It’s too bad that that world doesn’t exist.

The world we live in is a world of deadlines, tiny budgets, and stuck-up hotel event managers that can’t wrap their heads around the fact that you can’t have your wedding on the first Saturday in June because Aunt Agnes has an appointment with her Chiropodist on that day, and that’s the only day that her sloth of a son can take her there and that’s why you need to move the wedding date to the second Saturday. The world is indeed flawed.

Anyhow, just because you have a budget you need to stick to doesn’t mean that you can’t have a lovely wedding. A wedding that didn’t cost a fortune to put on doesn’t have to be a cheap wedding. Just because money is a little tight doesn’t mean you can’t have a wonderful day.

Before anything else, you need to talk to yourself and your spouse to determine how much you can afford to spend for the wedding. Try to keep your head when negotiating. Is it absolutely necessary to get Victorian silver centrepieces, or will a pretty vase do just as well? Would you rather spend your savings on a lavish party or an exotic and expensive honeymoon, or would you rather be able to make a down payment on a house? Consider your options carefully, determine how much you’re willing to spend, and keep that amount in mind when making decisions about the wedding.

The second thing we need to look into is the guest list. If you know how many people are going to be attending, then you’ll be able to determine how much you can spend on each guest, and also how large a Nashville wedding reception event site do you need. If you’re sticking to a budget, it’s probably all for the best to narrow down the guest list a bit so that you can afford to spend more on each guest.

Now that you’ve determined how many guests will be attending, the next thing you need to do is search for a Nashville venue for your wedding and reception. A great first choice is churches. Several Nashville area churches do not require payment from members of their congregation who wish to be married there. Some may charge a small amount. In addition, a lot of churches have a reception hall connected to it that you’ll be able to rent cheaply.

Another great option is an established wedding venue in middle Tennessee. A lot of wedding venues can provide all the services you need, such as wedding planning, catering, and other important details, and they wouldn’t cost as much as they would if you got them on your own.  That’s why many couples love to get married at places like Springhaven Mansion in Hendersonville, or Riverwood Mansion in historic east Nashville, or Historic Cedarwood “out in the country” but only minutes from downtown Nashville and C.J.’s Off the Square in lovely historic Franklin Tennessee.

How about having your wedding at home? For a little more money than you would pay to hire a maid, you can have your home transformed into a gorgeous wedding chapel.

Wedding invitations can look elegant and classy without costing an arm and a leg. If you’re going to have a small wedding, try using scrapbooking materials to create pretty personalized wedding invitations. If you’re going to have a fairly large wedding, why not try the local copy center, office supply store or supermarket warehouse? They can all offer you cheaper prices than a wedding planner or a posh stationery store could. You’ll soon find that there are even more ways to have a beautiful wedding on a budget.
